Formscan  - Secret Secret looked back to his best when coming home nine lengths clear of his nearest pursuer over C&D and merits strong consideration in his follow-up bid. However, an 8lb rise does demand more and it could be worth chancing the down-in-class CITY DERBY. Lizzie Quinlan's charge showed more spark on the back of a wind procedure when fifth here last month and he could be poised to strike. Whizz Kid is also noted.
